Review of Isle of the Dead (1945) by Mike M — 11 Aug 2014
Spooky, atmospheric Karloff-vehicle that follows a group of people quarantined to an island because of plague . . . or is it Vorvaloka (a mythical Greek creature similar to a vampire)?! Heavy on shadows and other creative ways to stretch a budget (thanks to producer Val Lewton's influence) this Isle acts as a strange dream, with just enough mysticism; religion and myth to keep things interesting.
